In today's episode, we discuss the last three episodes of Season One of Tuca & Bertie, a show we all love the name of which Margaret can even occasionally pronounce correctly. In the process, we also discuss:  Margaret's improbable employment as a semi-professional pronunciation advisor Fauci/Verdon Mall stores we'd name after which we would name our children Future Bones Zone guest Josh Gondelman's great essay "An Ode to Speckle, a (Bird)Man for Our Times" And you can hear Margaret learn, in real time, what TCBY stands for  All told, a splendid episode anyone would enjoy.

You know how sometimes you get a text or an email, and you say you’ll get around to it later, and you totally MEAN to get around to it later, and you even know that the person on the other end of the message KNOWS that you’ll get to it when you get to it, but then suddenly literal MONTHS have passed and it seems like it would be weirder to reply to the message than it would be to continue letting it sit in this liminal unanswered state? Anyway, here’s our last good one/bad one of, uh, fall 2023, about The Curse and Lawmen: Bass Reeves. We recorded this months ago. I dunno man, let's all just try to keep it light. 

Episode 346: The Curse and Lawmen: Bass Reeves (FINALLY)

In this week's episode, the gang is all here and we're discussing Margaret's Good One/Bad One Picks: The Buccaneers (good, theoretically) and The Irrational (bad, verily). In the episode, we mention this sweater:    And also, somehow, against all odds, Mpreg Clippy, which I have linked in case any of you are self-loathing enough to wish to pollute your brain with his visage. We will be back NEXT WEEK to discuss Kathryn's GOBO: The Curse (good) and Lawmen: Bass Reeves (bad). We hope you come back despite mpreg Clippy, but understand if that was simply a bridge too far. 

Episode 345: The Irrational Buccaneers (Good One/Bad One)

Listener beware, you're in for a scare! This week we watch a horrifying scream-filled nightmare of a television episode, where characters toy with forces beyond their comprehension and exhume corpses that would best be left alone. We are, of course, referring to the Frasier reboot. We also watch the first episode of the new Goosebumps show, which is fine. 

Episode 344: Tossed Goosebumps and Scrambled Frasier (Good One/Bad One)

We're back again! This time with a "Fall 2023" edition of Good One Bad One, which we started recording pretty late in the season and have finally gotten around to releasing even later. (November hit hard this year, listener.)  We've got a great lineup for you this season! Presenting the Good Ones: Apple TV+'s The Buccaneers Hulu's Goosebumps Showtime's The Curse And, of course, our formidable Bad Ones: Paramount+'s Frasier reboot NBC's The Irrational Paramount+'s Lawmen: Bass Reeves

Episode 343: Good One Bad One "Fall" 2023: The Pickening

In which we finish our miniseries on Citadel and attempt to wrestle with what, exactly, we have brought upon ourselves.
